notes from the office #55

my screenshot i think only encompasses a few hours of the day, there’s a backlog of magnus archives after my dailies.

i think i figured out a name for my blog?

-life between earbuds

-thoughts are lava, podcasts are stone (this is riffed from a tweet i saw from someone way cooler than me, whom i can’t recall at the moment other than she spoke pure truth)

8:46a: i hate having to use arc/info to make dxf files. i really fucking need to split the dimensions and label annotation feature classes i maintain into a couple different feature classes so modern arcgis doesn’t shit the bed every time i try to make a dxf for the surveyors that use our data. jfc.

and every time i listen to friendly fire, i want to binge edwin starr. sorry whatever i have next, i have to go listen to a couple of jams real quick

let’s be honest: i’m just going to go listen to war to scratch that itch then i’ll be right back in to listening to people far cooler than me talk.

8:57a: k 458,495 is probably too many features for one feature class. lol esri please set a limit otherwise i’m going to push this farther than i really should

how the fuuuuuuuuck do leader lines keep showing up in my annotation classes when i know for a fact it wasn’t me?? i set up a different LINE feature class for this so it didn’t fuck with my cobbled together, mad max-ish DXF workflow. maybe it was [xxx], idk. he’s retired now, so i’ll KNOW if they show up again that arcgis is doing something fucky. or i’m doing it inadvertently.

i mean, arcgis is a tool. it only does what i tell it.

this is what i tell myself when i’m trying to reinforce the idea that i really don’t know everything about how this software works. it’s closed source so i really can’t get in there and look.

3-2-1 i’m the bomb, and i’m ready to go off yeah

i lied, i queued up some electric 6 and i’m going to jam out whilst coaxing my mad max workflow along

9:51a: geoprocessing thought – it’s been 6 months since ive shaved my armpits and this is the first time ive actually thought about it. i dont think i’m going to go back, my boyfriend has said nothing in protest so fuck it. i haven’t had a rash on my pits since. thank god.

10:28a sometimes people put notes in our system indicating that they have scanned a document used to change something important. sometimes they forget to scan said document and don’t send a copy to file. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

still smiling, from my hypothetical soul.

10:52A still smiling is a wonderful album

12:15p SILENCE IS LAVA AAAAAAAAGHGHGHGH

2:36p i have this fucking tonsolith and i can feel it fucking hanging out in the back of my mouth and all i want to do is go home and bbbbblast the shit out of it with my water pick. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

3:39p 3rd listen of this week’s hftmt instead of working through my dailies. idk there’s something comforting about this week’s episode. is that weird?

4:21p today’s one of those days where i want to crawl under my desk and cry. the whole office is stressed out and i can feel every little bit of it.

4:30p i mean, i get it. [xxxxxxx] are going to be generated and sent out soon. this is crunch time for the office. the hurricane really fucked things up, on top of that.

on another note, i’m about to take a fucking pen and start scraping the back of my mouth/throat/whatever it’s called where these fuckers live. this sucks ass. i can’t wait to get home. i’m not really going to do that, but the thought is satisfying.

4:54p the critical role podcast’s music makes me want to dance. dance my ass right out the door
